NEW YORK GAY GAMES ORGANIZERS "STRUGGLING" TO PAY OFF DEBT

Vendors and merchants are waiting on organizers of last
year's Gay Games in New York for "about a half-million dollars
owed by the organizers," according to the N.Y. POST. The Games
brought an estimated $400M-$450M to the city's economy, more than
double what the World Cup brought in for the same week, according
to the city's comptroller. Ian Gazes, the Games' organizing
group's lawyer, says they failed to make the money expected from
things like licencing fees and souvenirs (Bryna Taubman, N.Y.
POST, 4/4).
